Protesters turn to direct action against AI firms
Original: 'Pull the plug': protesters resort to direct action against AI firms
Activists campaigning against artificial intelligence companies are increasingly abandoning petitions and open letters in favour of direct action, the Guardian reports. Recent protests have included sabotaging infrastructure and disrupting operations at firms building AI systems. The shift reflects growing frustration among critics who say corporate and government responses to concerns about AI's environmental and social costs have been inadequate.
Why now: Fresh reporting on a wave of direct-action protests against AI companies has reignited debate over opposition to the industry.
